Abstract
Imię człowieka, według tradycji biblijnej, określa osobę, jej charakter i godność. W liturgii Kościoła rzymskiego od XVIII w. znane jest wspomnienie Najświętszego Imienia Jezus. Istotę tego kultu rysują szczególnie teksty liturgiczne, przeznaczone na ten dzień. Zwłaszcza liczne własne teksty liturgii przedsoborowej świadczą o wielkim znaczeniu tego dnia. Po Vaticanum II wspomnienie to zostało usunięte z kalendarza liturgicznego, ale na nowo wprowadzone w 2002 r. Analiza tekstów mszalnych i brewiarzowych ukazuje treści teologiczne tego dnia świątecznego. Fundamentem są słowa zaczerpnięte z uniżeniu się i wywyższeniu Sługi Jahwe z drugiego rozdziału Listu św. Pawła do Filipian (por. Flp 2, 6-11) oraz z Dziejów Apostolskich, gdzie mowa o tym, że nie ma w innym imieniu zbawienia jak tylko w imieniu Jezus (por. Dz 4, 8-12). Teksty liturgiczne ze Starego Testamentu wskazują na wypełnienie proroctwa w Imieniu Jezus. Oddzielne motywy wychwalania imienia Jezusa podaje literatura pisarzy chrześcijańskich, którzy ukazują piękno i słodycz imienia Jezus. Przed Soborem Watykańskim II w homiliach św. Bernarda podkreślano fakt, że imię to jest wrodzone, a nie zostało nadane. Imię Jezu jest imieniem Jego miłosierdzia, o czym mówił w swoich kazaniach św. Bernardyn ze Sieny, a które to czytanie stanowi podstawę Godziny czytań po Soborze Watykański II. Święto to obchodzone obecnie 3 stycznia spina w sobie misterium Narodzenia i misterium Objawienia Pana, podkreślając jedność świętowania misterium Wcielenia.
According to the bible tradition, the name of a person determine its personality and dignity. Since the 18th century there is known commemoration of the most sacred name of Jesus in the liturgy of Roman Church. The essence of this devotion contains the liturgical texts assigned for that day. Especially, many texts of the pre-Vatican liturgy point out the great importance of that day. After the Second Vatican Council the commemoration was removed from the liturgical agenda, but anew established in 2002. Analysis of the texts contained in missal and breviary show theological contain of that feast day. The base are words about the humiliation and glorification of the Servant of Yahwe derived from the second chapter of the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians (Phil. 2:6–11) and from the Acts of the Apostles. In that book, it is said that the name of Jesus is the only one by which we can be saved (Acts 4:8–12). Liturgical texts from the Old Testament indicate the fulfilment of the prophecy in the name of Jesus. Different motivation of praising the name of Jesus is shown in the literature of Christian writers who demonstrate the beauty and sweetness of the name of Jesus. Before The Second Vatican Council, in the sermons of St. Bernard it is highlighted that this name is innate, not given. Saint Bernard from Siena said in his sermons that the name of Jesus is the name of His mercy. This text is the base of the Office of readings after the Second Vatican Council. Nowadays this feast is celebrated on 3rd January and links the mystery of the nativity and of the revelation of the Lord, pointing out the unity in the celebration of the mystery of Incarnation.
